Fire door repairs and remedial works in Stamford, done to the evidence
Our fire door repairs and remedial works service covers Stamford and the wider Lincolnshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Stamford, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We prioritise the most serious defects in your Stamford building first and return evidence against each action. Many repairs in Stamford can be completed in a single visit once matching components are on site.
What can be repaired?
Most defects found on inspection are repairable: replacing damaged intumescent strips and smoke seals, re-fixing or replacing hinges and missing screws, replacing or adjusting closers, fixing latches and keeps, fitting intumescent pads behind hinges and locks, re-glazing with the correct system and correcting minor gap issues where the manufacturer's guidance allows. Some repairs, such as hardwood edge repairs, must follow the manufacturer's method to stay within the evidence.
What you get:
- Line-by-line pricing from your inspection report
- Seal, strip and pad replacement
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Before-and-after photos per door
The regulations behind fire doors in Stamford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Stamford are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Stamford block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Do you cover PE9 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stamford including PE9, and nearby towns such as Peterborough and Corby. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Stamford?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
How quickly can remedials be done?
Many defects can be fixed in one visit once components are on site. We prioritise the most serious safety issues first.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
